Kroger Rounds Up Support for Sandy Victims

Customers can round up purchases to the nearest dollar; the difference benefits the American Red Cross' disaster relief efforts.

Kroger stores throughout the Atlanta Division are encouraging customers and associates to donate to the American Red Cross, which is providing shelter, meals, emotional support and other necessities to those affected by the deadly aftermath of Hurricane Sandy after it made landfall on Monday.

In support of the thousands of Americans affected by Hurricane Sandy, Kroger is launching a “Round-Up” campaign today in which customers can round up their purchases to the nearest dollar – the difference benefiting the American Red Cross and its disaster relief efforts in the Northeast.

Customers can also make donations to the American Red Cross at Kroger cash registers.
